Faith. What Is It Really?

Contributed by Michael Brown on Oct 24, 2020

I'm doing a study on Roman 14:23 which touches on faith. It says that anything that is not of faith is a sin. To get a better understanding of this verse we need to know God's definition of FAITH. I did research on that word & this sermon/definition is what I found.

We've all heard people say you have to have faith to make something happen. Faith is important to our Lord too. He devoted an entire chapter in the Book of Hebrews to it. To fully understand faith we should know God's definition of it. The Lord defines faith in Hebrews chapter 11. Hebrews ...read more

Offering - What Offering?

Contributed by Aham Igbokwe on May 31, 2015

Dynamics and Dimensions of Offering in New Testament context. For majority of Christians, the word 'offering' quickly invokes thoughts of money... but offering in true scriptural perspective is hardly ever about funds colection on a Sinday church service.

Majority of Christians have been wrongly churched to be just about as materialistic as the unbelievers however this sermon isn't about money but rather targeted at attacking money-centric error with the subject matter of 'offering' and to dismantle those, in Jesus’ name. To diismantle is to ...read more

Party On! Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 31, 2019

We all know that there were parties last evening, some that lasted well into the morning hours. But I venture to say that these parties were not celebrations of religious faith, such as the ones implied by today’s Scriptures.

Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God Party On! Today’s Scriptures are so brief that if our minds are not focused, we might not remember any of them. I’ve wondered if that was an act of mercy on the part of those who back in the 1960's put together the three-year cycle of readings, and saw New ...read more

Who Claims Our Devotion? Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 18, 2020

Our devotion is not to a book, not even to a church building, and not even to our fellow parishioners. We derive our identity as Catholics from our devotion to the lord of the Sabbath, the lord of our lives, Our Lord, Jesus the Christ.

Revival Culture Part 2 - The Altar Series

Contributed by Dr. Jonathan Vorce on Feb 15, 2020

What do we think of when we think of "The Altar?" For some it brings back sweet memories from our childhood. For others just confusion and misunderstandings. We cannot experience a move of God without The Altar! Today, let's take a quick look at the subject of "The Altar."
